Fewer switches and con¬ trols simplify operations in the new BMW 3 Series. The display, indicator and control elements are arranged in order of importance: "Most important at the top - less important at the bottom." There are four major systems that make up the displays and indicators for the E90: • Instrument Cluster • Central Information Display (CID) • Personal Profile. • Connected Service BMW 3 Series Display, Indicator and Control Concept Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Steering column stalk/steering wheel 8 Central Information Display (CID) 2 Instrument cluster 9 Controller 4 E90 Driver Information Systems Instrument Cluster The new BMW 3 Series is equipped with an instrument cluster featuring analog instru¬ ments for: • Speed • Engine speed • Economy control and • Fuel level. Two large pointer instruments show the road speed and engine speed. Two smaller pointer instruments display fuel level and current fuel consumption. All of the indicator lamps are located in the center at the top between the two large instrument dials. The liquid crystal display is located in the center between the two large pointer instru¬ ments. A classic two-dial design draws attention to both instruments. Each finished unobtru¬ sively with two trim rings in pearl-finish chrome. The instrument cluster on the BMW3 Series has no gateway function. Only the outside temperature, the information from the steering column switch cluster, and footwell module are shown directly in the display. 5 E90 Driver Information Systems IPO Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Outside temperature sensor 11 Brake pad wear sensor, rear right 2 Coolant level switch 12 Washer fluid level sensor 3 Brake pad wear sensor, front left 13 Fuel level sensor, right 4 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) 14 Fuel level sensor, left 5 Digital Motor Electronics (DME) PT-CAN Powertrain control module 6 Footwell Module (FRM) D-Bus Diagnosis bus 7 Steering column switch center K-CAN Body Controller Area Network 8 Instrument cluster KL30 Terminal 30 9 Junction box (JB) KL31 Terminal 31 10 Contact switch, handbrake 6 E90 Driver Information Systems System Circuit Diagram Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Outside temperature sensor 11 Brake pad wear sensor, rear right 2 Coolant level switch 12 Washer fluid level sensor 3 Brake pad wear sensor, front left 13 Fuel level sensor, right 4 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) 14 Fuel level sensor, left 5 Digital Motor Electronics (DME) PT-CAN Powertrain control module 6 Footwell Module (FRM) D-Bus Diagnosis bus 7 Steering column switch center K-CAN Body Controller Area Network 8 Instrument cluster KL30 Terminal 30 9 Junction box (JB) KL31 Terminal 31 10 Contact switch, handbrake 7 E90 Driver Information Systems System Components The instrument cluster is secured by means of two torx-head tapping screws to the instrument panel. A shroud prevents reflections in the acutely angled windscreen. The instrument cluster comprises the following components: • Instrument dials • Indicator and warning lamps • Program and gear display for automatic transmission and sequential manual gearbox • Acoustic generator for audible direction indicator signal and CC gong for Rad 2 (The audible signals are output via the radio speaker when equipped with a CID). • Button for resetting trip distance recorder and selecting condition-based service in CBS menu. Press button for > 4 seconds to select the workshop menu. The set¬ tings are selected via the rocker switch in the steering column stalk. • Other connected components which serve to activate the displays in the instrument cluster (see system overview/system circuit diagram). Display Areas The instrument cluster features display areas for: • Speedometer • Tachometer • Instantaneous fuel Economy gauge • Fuel gauge • Outside temperature display • Indicator and warning lamps • Liquid crystal display • Program and gear displays for automatic transmission and sequential manual gearbox SMG. 8 E90 Driver Information Systems The following table provides an exact comparison, illustrating the functions and symbols that have changed compared to the BMW 3 Series (E46).

The engine speed range is 7500 rpm on vehicles eguipped with the NG6 engines. Instantaneous Fuel Economy Gauge The instantaneous fuel economy gauge is an analogue indicator driven by a stepper motor in the instrument cluster. The fuel consumption is based on the injector on time signal (ti) sent from the DME control unit via the bus lines to the cluster. The board computer (BC) functions of the instrument cluster calculates for the “real time” fuel consumption. Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge indicator is an analog indicator driven by a stepper motor. The instrument cluster receives a signal from two sending units submerged in the left and right sides of the gas tank. From these two varying voltage signals, fuel level is calculated by the cluster. The fixed LED for low fuel warning has been eliminated. A pictogram of a fuel gauge now lights up in the instrument cluster when the level drops below 2.1 gallons. A warning tone additionally sounds on reaching the reserve threshold. Outside Temperature Display A temperature sensor(NTC type) mounted on the front bumper cover of the vehicle mea¬ sures the outside temperature. The analog signal is sent to the cluster to be displayed. In ignition key position 0, the instrument cluster applies terminal 30g current to the tem¬ perature sensor every 10 minutes. The instrument cluster makes available the current outside temperature in the form of a data telegram via the K-CAN. 10 E90 Driver Information Systems Indicator and Warning Lamps The indicator and warning lamps are activated by the processor in the instrument cluster. All important and legally stipulated indicator and warning lamps are activated at terminal 15 ON during the pre-drive check. The indicator and warning lamps can be illuminated in different colors or combinations. The significance of the indicator and warning lamps as well as the colour assignments are described in detail later under check control messages. Indicators and Warning Lamps Liquid Crystal Display Area Liquid Crystal Display The liquid crystal display is divided into two areas. The time and outside temperature are shown in the upper display along with the CC messages and CBS images. The on-board computer functions, CBS messages, distance recorder as well as the program display for automatic transmission are shown in the lower display. Manipulation Dot Different data are stored in the instrument cluster and in the CAS when a dot appears to the left of the trip distance recorder. The manipulation dot is indicated when, for example, comparison of the stored vehicle identification number does not agree. Program and Gear Display The program and gear display is shown in the bottom window in the liquid crystal display on vehicles with automatic or SMG. The program and gear display shows letters and numbers. The program mode is displayed all the time and is not overwritten by other information. On manual transmission vehicles, the gear display is blanked out by means of the coding and an enlarged version of the BC display is coded in its place. 11 E90 Driver Information Systems Acoustic Generators Audible warnings are given in support of check control messages if the vehicle is equipped with a RAD2. The instrument cluster controls these warnings via the K-CAN. The warning signals are output by the CCC control unit when installed as an option. The request for the turn signal indicator is sent by the footwell module via the K-CAN. Backlighting The cluster sends a K-CAN bus signal to other modules on in the vehicle to inform them of backlighting intensity. While the vehicle lighting is OFF, a phototransister in the instrument cluster graduates the amount of backlighting needed to overcome ambient lighting. While the vehicle lighting is ON, the backlighting is determined by the adjustment of the KL58g circuit via the BC menu on the cluster. The lighting intensity can be set by using the rocker switch on the turn signal stalk on the steering column. BC Menu for Adjusting Backlighting Audible Warnings US vehicles additionally feature an ignition key warning and a seat belt warning. An uninterrupted warning tone sounds when the driver's door is opened with terminal 15 OFF and the identification transmitter in place. The audible signal is switched off by removing the identification transmitter, closing the door or after 30 minutes. The seat belt warning is activated at terminal 15 ON if the seat belt contact is not closed. The audible warning is intermittent and is no longer than 6 seconds. The indicator and warning lamp remains on. 12 E90 Driver Information Systems On-Board Computer There are two versions of the computer available for the BMW 3 Series: • On-board computer as basic version • On-board computer as journey computer (on CCC equipped vehicles) The basic on-board computer contains the following functions: • Average fuel consumption 1 • Range • Current consumption • Average speed For the journey computer, the computer is expanded to include the following additional functions: • Start of journey • Duration of journey • Distance covered • Arrival time • Average fuel consumption 2 • Average speed 2 • Remaining distance The individual functions of the basic version of the computer can be shown in succession in the liquid crystal display of the instrument cluster. The data description is the same as that for the other BMW models. Display Variants There are two display variants of the on-board computer functions in the instrument cluster. 1. Computer in vehicle with automatic transmission 2. Computer in vehicle with manual transmission 13 E90 Driver Information Systems The menu rocker switch must be pressed for at least 2 seconds in one direction to enable fast scrolling of all menu items. The menu is then scrolled through at intervals of 0.5 seconds. Show Displays The BC displays are shown and scrolled in the instrument cluster via a menu rocker switch on the steering column stalk for the direction indicator lights. The individual functions are displayed in the lower display window of the instrument clus¬ ter. Once terminal R is switched on, the computer will display the computer function that was displayed last. All other functions can be selected by means of the rocker switch on the steering column stalk. The order in which the BC functions are shown is always the same. More information is found later in this section under principles of operation. 14 E90 Driver Information Systems Principals of Operation The instrument cluster receives information on the wiring harness in the form of analog and digital electrical signals. These signals are processed and displayed in the instrument cluster or passed on as information to other control units. The instrument cluster on the BMW 3 Series features several functions that have been changed compared to previous models. Moving Dial Indicator Fig. 1 shows the movement sequence of the moving dial indicator based on the rev counter. The moving dial indicator (2) is driven by: • ring gear (3) connected to the dial • pinion (6) • stepper motor (7) secured to the rear of pc-board (5).

A fuel pump symbol lights up for 23 seconds in the liquid crystal display as soon as the reserve level is reached (2.1 gal¬ lons). This display is permanently activated at a range below approx. 31 miles. On-Board Computer A graphic symbol in the upper display window is assigned to each main menu item. Menu items that are deactivated during vehicle operation are not shown (ex. RDC). Each menu can be interrupted at a certain position by briefly pressing the BC button. In addition to this active termination, there is an automatic termination that takes place 15 seconds after the last entry. The display for the CCC are shown on the central information display CID. 16 E90 Driver Information Systems BC Main Menu The following table lists all BC functions that can be selected in the instrument cluster depending on the options.

Personal Profile The "Personal profile" systems allows the driver to set several functions of the BMW 3 Series to suit his/her personal requirements. Personal profile stores the data entered by the driver such as automatic setting of the outside mirrors or speed-dependent volume in the corresponding control units. As soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control, the system recognizes the corresponding settings belonging to the remote control. Up to three different basic settings can be adapted for three different persons. The precondition is that each of the three persons has his/her own remote control. The BMW 3 Series caters for the driver's personal requirements. Note: Up to three different basic settings can be adapted for three different personalizations. 51 E90 Driver Information Systems Display in the instrument cluster Display formats and units of measure The following display formats and units of measure can be changed in the instrument cluster: • Fuel consumption (1/100 km, mpg, km/I) • Distance (km, mis) • Time format (12h/24h) • Date format (dd/mm, mm/dd) • Temperature (°C, °F) • Reset of display formats and units of measure, the factory setting is adopted. The procedure for selecting and changing all display formats and units of measure is identical. By way of example, the procedure for changing the unit of measure is described in detail. Changing Unit of Measure The following procedure must be carried out in order to change the unit of measure: 1. Press the rocker switch in the steering column stalk up or down until the "Personal Profile" function appears in the instrument cluster. 2. Press the BC button on the steering column stalk. 3. Press the rocker switch up or down until the required unit of measures is shown. 4. Press the BC button on the steering column stalk. 5. Use the rocker switch to make the necessary change. 6. Press the BC button to adopt the change. Changing Unit of Measure Note: On a vehicle equipped with a CCC/CID, the changes in personal profile are made using the vehicle settings menu in the iDrive system. The menu will not be displayed on the cluster. 52 E90 Driver Information Systems Central Information Display (CID) The central information display (CID) is the graphic display unit for the user interface of all convenience functions and several vehicle functions. Only vehicles equipped with navigation system (option 609) will be equipped with a CID. The main menu consists of four menu items: • Communication • Navigation • Entertainment • Climate control. All individual user settings are combined under the additional "Settings" menu. The button for selecting the main menu is located behind the controller in the center console. As on other BMW models, the system is operated by means of the the controller. The design of the central information display is identical to that of the CID installed in the BMW 5 Series. In the BMW 3 Series, the same software is used in the central informa¬ tion display as in the BMW 5 Series and 6 Series.

The CID comprises the following two components: • Casing with integral electronic module • Casing attachment with glass cover. The controller which is used to control the displays and indicators in the CID will also be included as an indirect but integral part of the CID system. Liquid Crystal Display The E90 vehicles eguipped with a navigation system will have a CID. There is only one version of the CID available: • LCD 8.8" High in connection with CCC The display is equipped with a digital 8.8" TFT screen (Thin Film Transistor) with a visible area of 209.28 mm x 78.48 mm. The resolution of the TFT display is 400 x 3 x240 pixels.

The controller is located in the center console immediately behind the gear selector lever, within reach of the user (driver and front passenger). There is only one variant available: • High variant with CCC The tactile feedback for the rotary movement at the controller is generated electrically in the High variant. The tactile feedback for the rest position, the main directions of move¬ ment and the depressed position is created by mechanical means. The principle of the controller is identical to that on the BMW 6 Series, BMW 5 Series, and BMW 7 Series models. The menu button which can be used to show the main menu in the CID is located direct¬ ly behind the controller. In addition to the menu button, another button is provided to acti¬ vate/deactivate the voice recognition system SVS. The button signals are read into the controller and converted into K-CAN telegrams. Index Explanation 1 Controller 2 Button for Main Menu 3 Button for voice input system 57 E90 Driver Information Systems Principles of Operation The menus for the E90 are the same as those for the E60/63/4. The controller is the same as the one used on E6x vehicles. 58 E90 Driver Information Systems Service Information Service Mode The controller can be used to activate the Service mode functions. Service mode is a special facility which provides information about the status of the dis¬ play and user control system. Service mode can be used, for example, to read out hardware/software statuses for the central information display or control units in the CCC system network. As an addition to the extensive diagnostics available through the diagnosis system, Service mode acts as a simple means of quickly accessing diagnostic data without the need for a diagnosis tester. Sources of Information In Service mode, information on the following functions can be selected from the upper menu bar: • C-Application • C-HOST • C-Tuner • C-ASK • C-Gateway. The information available at this time is software, hardware, and operating system status. Further development should come soon. Push the controller in any direction to return to the main menu. Activating Service Mode Select main menu and press and hold the controller. Tactile feedback will then be generated. • Turn controller 3 stops clockwise • Turn controller 3 stops counter-clockwise • Turn controller 1 stop clockwise • Turn controller 1 stop counter-clockwise • Turn controller 1 stop clockwise • Press the controller to confirm, Service mode will then appear in the CID. 59 E90 Driver Information Systems Connected Service Connected Service is a maintenance concept that has been part of the BMW Group since the introduction of the BMW 7 Series. Connected Service is made up of several modules; some of these are already in opera¬ tion while others have been further developed or introduced for the first time with the launch of the BMW 3 Series. Connected Service is an indication of how communications and networking between the car and Service are increasing. TeleServicel can even make an automatic service call which informs the customer's home dealer that a service is due. The Key Reader is an important Connected Service module. Service reception is able to read the data stored in the vehicle key with the Key Reader. Connected Service Modules 60 E90 Driver Information Systems Condition Based Service (CBS) In the same way as the mid-range and luxury models, the BMW3 Series will also be offering service intervals that are geared towards the current condition of selected components, i.e. servicing that depends on the condition of components and mainte¬ nance reguirements; this is known as Condition Based Service (CBS). Condition based service therefore means - servicing on a timely basis. The system calculates when a service operation, e.g. an oil change is due and informs the customer of this via the liguid crystal display in the instrument cluster. CBS sorts all the data according to date due and can determine when the vehicle should be taken into service. If a central information display CID is installed, the instrument cluster passes on the sorted data to the CID where the data can be displayed in the service menu. There are ten different types of service, with each of these types being assigned to a specific service group, e.g. oil change.

There are three options for resetting the service operations: 1. Legally required service operations such as the vehicle inspection (HU) and exhaust emission inspection (AU) can only be reset in the "Service" menu. 2. All vehicle servicing service functions such as changing spark plugs are reset via the reset button for the trip distance recorder in the instrument cluster. If the reset but¬ ton is pressed for longer than ten seconds, the reset mode opens automatically. 3. All fields can be reset using the service functions found in the diagnosis program of the DISplus orGTI.
